I agree with your point. This reminds me of some guy I saw with a Yankees 1999 Eastern Division Championship shirt. I admit, I am a conceited yankee fan (but I also like the Jets and the Knicks so don’t say I am a frontrunner). But how you can go buy a division championship shirt when your team had won 2 of the last 3 world championships and, although you didn’t know it at the time, was in the middle of a threepeat. I mean, come on! And how can that shirt even be made?

No Nike in the Final 4!! UCLA (Adidas), Kansas (Adidas), Memphis (Adidas) and North Carolina ( Jordan). When is the last time the swoosh wasn’t present in this great event?

not the best pic, but here’s odalis perez’ tag in action

My problem is that the nationals are wearing red caps and red piping accents. Whay the black shoes? The Angels have done this for years as well and I don’t understand why!

Brayan Pena and Willie Harris were both rockin double flapped battuing helmets tonight. First time other than in a little league game?

Not all that uncommon. Terry Pendleton & Otis Nixon as Braves teammates right off the top of my head.

Along with Willie McGee back in ‘82 as well, I believe.

Don’t know if this has been mentioned, but this year’s Final Four team jerseys will be swoosh-less. UCLA, Kansas, and Memphis are all Adidas schools, and even though UNC is a Nike school, they wear the Brand Jordan logo instead of the swoosh. I’m sure it’s been a while since this last happened.

Actually, the jerseys are swoosh-less EVERY year. The NCAA doesn’t allow manufacturer logos on hoops jerseys. Just the shorts.

Brayan Pena wears a double flap helmet because he's a switch hitter. The Braves new uni front is the same size as the road gray's, I personally wasn't impressed with the blue alts. I thought they should just go with a blue version of the grays

After years of wearing “C. Jones” on the back of his Braves jersey — because Andruw Jones, now with the Dodgers, was a teammate — Chipper Jones was identified Sunday simply as “Jones.”

Chipper and Andruw both wore just plain “Jones” even when they were teammates.
